Added DiffLines:

* DisciplinesOfMagic: Magical study is divided into no less than '''fifteen''' different paths, one for each of the classical elements, one for their evil counterparts, Life, Death, True Death, Soul, Time, and Shadow. A potential mage falls into a path at birth. Which path you fall into dictates the abilities you have as well as what jobs you'll be suited for. With the exception of Life and Death (and possibly True Death), this is less a restriction than it is a specialization, with abilities related to other paths being available but at a reduced effectiveness. At the start of the series fully seven of the paths have become extinct (with another being hunted to extinction) due to their practitioners getting genocided, but one is apparently making a comeback at the end, via the main character's wife. It should be noted that the final book in the "trilogy," ''The Darksword Chronicles'' is actually a gamebook that gives rules for character creation along this route, as well as samplings of how to play most of the mages.

Added DiffLines:

* LazyDragon: ''The Darksword Adventures'' describes stone dragons, gigantic dragons made of solid stone and prone to settling in one spot for years-long naps. Since, when not moving, [[ThatsNoMoon a stone dragon is indistinguishable from a regular crag or hill]], this has caused more than one building to come tumbling down when the ground it was built on decided to get up.

Baleful Polymorph was renamed per TRS. As is typical with dewicking projects, zero-context examples were deleted, as it is impossible to tell if they are misuse.
